Ken en Ken: Aoki Kagayaki: The story so far has lots of problems -- janky CG effects, too many characters to keep track of, events occurring out of nowhere -- but it also has lots of strengths. Good art, music, voice acting and an epic world and plot. The empire make for great villains for the heroes to battle, too. Pass.
Himote House: This wasn't even anime. Just some shitty cg low budget short. Fail.
Goblin Slayer: A great start to a well-known good show. Genocidal hatred is merited when the opponent is pure evil. A lesson we all need to learn. Pass.
Anima Yell: This show is supposed to be cute and funny, but the art wasn't particularly good and none of the gags were particularly funny. I feel like you can get all the cheerleading you need from Card Captor Sakura, which had a more beautiful girl and a much higher budget. Or you could just watch Lucky Star, for that matter. . . Fail.
SSSS.Gridman: I have never once liked an anime produced by Trigger, and it's always for the same reasons -- the distracting artistic liberties they take during animation. Instead of being able to watch the show, I'm constantly distracted by their stupid hijinks, which exist solely, seemingly, to troll their own audience. I suppose if a show were sufficiently high quality one could endure the terrible animation decisions, but like usual it was just some story about an empty vessel who didn't even remember who he was much less what he wanted to do. The epitome of the reluctant hero device. I gave up in just a few minutes. Fail.
Radiant: This show was supposed to be cool and funny, but the art style was too horrible for anything to look cool and all of the gags were lame and boring. I gave up after just a few minutes. Fail.
Ulysses Jeandarc blah blah: Boring and unrealistic. I feel like history was raped by this show. Fail.
Release the Spyce: Contrast this show with Princess Principal, an actually good rendering of spies and spycraft. Here we just had superhuman powers, missiles, car chases, etc. Over there we had people infiltrating environments and skillfully deceiving the people around them. It's like night and day. Now you can say this isn't a spy series, but some sort of cop show, but that's even worse. Cops just use the overwhelming power of the state against hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered petty criminals. In what decent story do you spend every ep bullying the weak? Nothing good can come from this show. Fail.
That's enough for Part 2. Part 3 will cover the four or so remaining stragglers once they come out.
